I would not know, don't watch it or any other network news. But based on your apparent disdain for Fox I'm guessing you are a "The View" watching kind of guy.

Of course you would. If you are going to spout Fox news for draft analysis ...

My disdain extends to all narrow right and left wing media outlets. But especially to outlets that take pride in their narrow commentary.

Last time I checked Fox News provides incredibly one-sided erroneous opinions.

The outrage should be directed at WCCO radio where Hoge actually made the comments, FOX just printed the story as did at least half a dozen other outlets. I doubt there are 3 people at Fox who know who Drake Maye is at I doubt there is even one person there that cares.

I do agree.

Many of who I consider top evaluators analysts consider Maye the 6th best or lower QB in this draft.

Don't claim you heard or read it on Fox or some imbecile named Sykes will turn it into a critique of Fox and claim you are using them for draft analysis. It happened today when I searched for draft stories and the Maye/Hoge story came up on 5 sites on the first results page. I I just grabbed the first one and read/posted it thinking it would be of interest to Vikings fans. It just happened to be Fox Sports.

So Fox doesn't know or care about the content they are publishing?

Agreed.

You linked commentary that, in my opinion, is narrow and one-dimensional ... from a platform that, in my opinion, is narrow and one-dimensional.

Whether Fox generated the content (they didn't) or regurgitated the content (they did) ...

I responded. You can agree or disagree.

I heard the Antarctica Gazette has some objective writing. Other than that, nothing.

My fault, I should have linked to one of the other sites. Then maybe you would have actually addressed the content instead of where it was posted.

I don't care if the analysis came from MSNBC, CNN, FOX, or The View.

I made money last year betting the Packers to go over 7 1/2.

Not sure if I like any of the bets for the division this coming season.

I guessed 3 over/unders right last year, and the previous season.

I picked Pittsburgh and GB to go over, and Chicago to go under. Chicago could have gone over if they won the last game of their season against GB.

The 2022 season I picked Minnesota and Buffalo to go over, and Cleveland to go under, was right on all 3.

I was thinking Detroit might be a decent under David, not sure on Minnesota, as we don't know who the starting QB will be.

yes we do.

His name is Sam Darnold.

Even if we pick a QB and trade up to get him. Darnold with at the very least start the season as QB1

You're probably right. But the rookie could tear it up and seem ready by the opener, or Darnold could get hurt in the pre-season, or in practice.

Cousins likely to cost his new team draft stock. Might he also be destined for Hell now?

i think that darnold has a chance to find success with the vikings...watched some videos on his professional career - he has great pocket presence and a knack for staying close to the line of scrimmage while looking downfield - not afraid to step up in the pocket and roll out along the line...if o'connell can develop a gameplan for darnold he could flourish with jefferson, addison, hockenson, and aaron jones....

what bothers me about kwesi the most right now is that, like spielman, he just doesn't put the attention on the interior o-line that he should...we still need a solid guard and a somewhat solid nose tackle for me to have more faith in this season....

To be faIr to Darnold, he hasn't exactly been set up to succeed in the NFL. He has has been surrounded by some incredibly bad offensive talent in his career.

Mike Florio (PFT) is really getting annoying. Demanding that we pay JJ what he wants or trade him to someone who will.

About a week ago, he was complaining about all the backloaded WR contracts. Duh. Where has he been? Almost all huge contracts are backloaded to make them look better than they are.

I think he is feeling guilty about the Arrestometer(Days without a player arrest) he used to have on his site.

He is sucking up to the players constantly.
